Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Koba Takanori (ranked 2384 p4p, 3738 weight class) and Bobby Knuckles (ranked 291 p4p, 406 weight class). Bobby Knuckles struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.5lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
